Mission statement:
”EarthJustice is a non-profit public interest law firm dedicated to protecting the magnificent places, natural resources, and wildlife of this earth and to defending the right of all people to a healthy environment. We bring about far-reaching change by enforcing and strengthening environmental laws on behalf of hundreds of organizations and communities.”
EarthJustice has nine regional offices spread around the United States in the Northwest, Northern Rockies, Northeast, California, Rocky Mountains, Washington DC, Alaska, Mid-Pacific, along with an international program in their headquarters in Oakland, with more than 150 employees working voluntarily.
EarthJustice focuses on three major priorities: maintain wildlife, national parks and forests; protecting our communities by ensuring a clean and non-toxic environment; and fight against global warming.
Climate and energy: EarthJustice has put into position a plan to promote alternative energy policies.
Wildlife and places: Polluted rivers, national parks, forests, close to extinction animals, these are the places and organisms EarthJustice protects.
Health and toxics: EarthJustice has been promoting a safe environment for human health, conserning the air, food and water.
EarthJustice in short is a non-profit organization, dedicated to protect and preserve our planet. To fight for the rights of those whose voices cannot be heard, be it whether dirty waterways in Florida, coal mines in Otter Creek, gas pipelines in Pennsylvania, they are struggling every day to make our world a better place to live, for us. This is what makes EarthJustice such an inspirational organization, as they represent hope and justice for us, other organisms we share this earth with, and perhaps most importantly, our future generations.
